Also possible that, A human error like impatient people/investors saying they need a return or just get it done already before they pull the funding or ruin careers... I'm lost when a bunch of scientists "forget" that concrete has to cure and the emissions of such processes. So design, build, pour and go, was the motto? Maybe we are a bit away from this realization...?
